Grabbed a bunch of tickets and drove an hour to watch the game. Big fan of Hobbs, know his Aunt, he comes from good stock.

Me and my buddy were wondering if they had any toughness to go with the skill. Then the line brawl happened. Every signal Pat was on top. Hobbs dummied his guy. Toughness is not an issue, a credit to Paddock.

They are sure playing at a high level at this point. Last night was another game where they took it to the opposition and never let up. Brown was a littel shaky on a few of the goals so wasn't indicative of their goaltending.They put incredible pressure on the Blades on the penalty kill so many times it looked like Pats had the PP.Suspensions? Was checking the WHL Discipline site and so far only $500 fines for both teams (multi-player fight) but no suspenions noted yet. According to some other info on there it looks like only an instigator of a fight in last 5 minutes of a game gets a 1 game suspension.Warriors game should be a keeper!

William Weppler - I agree with your analysis except for the part where you state "Last night was another game where they took it to the opposition and never let up." The Pats clearly let off of the gas in the second period and Adam Brooks admitted as much after the game. It's scary how potent their offense is this year and I don't think there is much doubt from anyone that the Pats could have scored at least 10 goals total if they wouldn't have let off of the gas in the second period.

The Pats scoring 2 goals while killing off the same penalty is nothing short of amazing.
